1841-O Fortin-110 Dime, MS65
Ex: Eliasberg, Simpson

1841-O 10C MS65 PCGS Secure. CAC. Fortin-110. A blanket of medium autumn-brown, jade-green, and steel-gray toning graces well-struck, satiny, and exemplary surfaces. The present Gem boasts three formidable pedigrees, from the Eliasberg, Simpson, and Gardner specialized holdings of the Seated dime series. What the three collectors have in common is a desire to own the finest obtainable examples of each and every issue.

Variety: Fortin-110. Open Bud reverse. Small O mintmark. A middle die state with a majority of the reverse radial cracks depicted on the Fortin website, although the cracks through the U in UNITED and the M in AMERICA are absent.

Population Data (7/14): Tied with one other as finest certified at PCGS. At NGC, two are graded MS65, and one is certified MS67.

Heritage Commentary: It is doubtful that any Southerners set aside Seated dimes for collector purposes until long after the Civil War. The 1841-O has a mintage of more than 2,000,000 pieces; worn-out survivors are plentiful. However, Gems are surprisingly rare.

Consignor Commentary: In contrast to the prior-listed colorful 1841, this coin in its simplistic way is truly beautiful. Showing a sharp strike and unblemished, even toning, the coin is gorgeous.

Provenance: Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 1122; Bob Simpson Collection of Seated Dimes (Heritage, 9/2010), lot 3624.(Registry values: N2998)
